Freres Wood

A successful MPP project starts long before the panels arrive on site.

Early planning can help project teams make smarter decisions around design, fabrication, delivery, and installation. It can also reduce guesswork once materials are ordered and the work moves into the field.

Forests have shaped our work for more than a century, so we were honored to receive the Environmental Corporate Impact Award from Portland Business Journal’s Philanthropy Summit & Impact Awards.

Thank you to Portland Business Journal and World Forestry Center for the opportunity to be part of work that supports forests and communities.

Project Highlight: Inn the Ground Bed & Breakfast

Designed to blend with its natural surroundings, this project used our Mass Ply Panels to create a roof structure that brings warmth, long spans, and exposed wood design together in one space.

The project highlights how mass timber can support both performance and atmosphere, using engineered wood to create a structure that feels connected to the environment around it.

Partners:
👉 Schommer & Sons
👉 GBD Architects

Next time you walk through PDX, keep an eye out for a familiar face.

As part of the new “Locals Made PDX the Most Local-est Airport Yet” installation, our Plant 6 Manager, Ed Setzer, is featured among the people who helped bring the new terminal to life. His photo says it best:

“Our plant made all the mass plywood.”

If you spot Ed on your way to baggage claim from the B and C concourses, snap a selfie and tag us. We’d love to see it. 👏
